sw4400 Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 While I don't have a photo and there appears to be none on the Museum Of Transport site, the bus you are most likely referring to is a #7000 or #9000 series. I believe they were Mack buses, but only people with Krambles' books or have a lot of CTA nostalgic info can concur... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busjack Posted November 10, 2013 Report Share Posted November 10, 2013 Hello Men, Can anyone tell me the Bus Number, This bus is in the Museum of Transport, St.louis. Also any photo's out there?? It is a former CTA Propane bus from the 50's... Thanks. Unless you have a picture or other description, we can't tell. Their collection page (and linked pages) only indicates L cars from Chicago. While I don't have a photo and there appears to be none on the Museum Of Transport site, the bus you are most likely referring to is a #7000 or #9000 series. I believe they were Mack buses, but only people with Krambles' books or have a lot of CTA nostalgic info can concur... There weren't any 9000 series propane buses. Either it was a 7200 series Mack, or Twin Coach in the 5000s or 8000s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buslist Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 I have never heard of any CTA bus at MOT, more details please! Could it be as ex Omaha bus similar to the Smithsonian's faux CTA bus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mel bernero Posted November 11, 2013 Report Share Posted November 11, 2013 It is CTA 5441, one of the buses turned into a Suggestion Bus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlsii Posted November 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Mel Do you have a photo of former propane CTA 5441?? I assume this is a Twin?? Thanks. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Busjack Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Mel Do you have a photo of former propane CTA 5441?? I assume this is a Twin?? Thanks. :-) I thought Chicago Transit and Railfan had one, but didn't. Maybe it got lost with all the changes of servers. In any event, it would have been a Twin 52-S2P, not any different than this, although the interior would have been redone in some 70s theme. I didn't see the interior, though.
